Pushkar Mela or the Pushkar Camel Fair and Kartik Mela is an annual fair that is usually organized for five days. The Mela begins in the month of Kartik and ends on the Kartik Purnima, according to the Hindu calendar.

The celebrations coincide with late October and early November according to the Gregorian calendar.  This year the fair will commence on November 11 and continue till November 19.

Pushkar Mela History & Significance

Pushkar holds its roots back to 2ooo years when humans co-existed with Gods. It is believed that the Pushkar lake, where Brahma used to bathe, is a holy lake where all your sins will be washed and you will be cured of any disease. It is believed that he performed some religious rituals at this lake on the day of Kartik Purnima. The lake surely shines like a pearl in the midst of the state of Rajasthan.

If we read the ancient scriptures, we can see that the city of Pushkar has been mentioned by the poet Kalidasa in his classic, Abhigyan Shakuntalam. The two epics of Ramayana and Mahabharata also have instances cited from the religious place of Adi Tirtha.

In the year 1998, it was recorded that the Pushkar Mela witnessed a total headcount of more than 1 million visitors.
